Seahawks standouts: Seattle skins Da Bears (preseason)

If there was any lingering doubt left about whether Harvin is healthy, he certainly proved this week that he's ready to go. Harvin was Seattle's second-best receiver on Friday, with 61 yards on just three receptions, including a 25-yard reception during the Seahawks' first touchdown drive of the game. He also displayed his value to the return game with his speedy 46-yard kick return to open the tilt. Harvin proved Friday that he's one of the pieces that makes Seattle's offense truly dynamic.

If Wilson was good last week against the Chargers, then his performance against the Bears was spectacular. On Friday, he went 15-of-20 over the span of over two-plus quarters, with 202 passing yards and three touchdowns (one rushing) — and a QB rating of 140. He looked as poised as ever, completing pinpoint passes and scrambling out of a number of tricky situations. "Elite" is a dangerous word to throw around, but against Chicago, Wilson looked pretty close to that.

Kearse has developed into one of Wilson’s most dependable targets in his third year with the team. At 6-foot-1 and 209 pounds, Kearse has size that the Seahawks other “starting” receivers — Percy Harvin and Doug Baldwin — don’t. He’s learned how to position himself to take full advantage of his frame, and is particularly adept at bringing down balls in traffic, like he did with his 12-yard touchdown catch midway through the second quarter. Kearse finished Friday night with a team-high four receptions for 63 yards.

Lane was everywhere in the first half, whether making plays in kick coverage or from his cornerback position. Lane led the team with six total tackles and three passes defended, and he ended the Bears’ only scoring threat in the first half when he intercepted Jay Cutler at the 2-yard line and returned the ball 41 yards. The third-year pro looks more than ready to step into the nickel job vacated by Walter Thurmond.

Schofield continued his dominant preseason by visiting the Bears backfield with astonishing regularity in limited action. The 6-foot-3, 260-pounder may have only accumulated two total tackles, but he racked up a sack, tackle for loss and three quarterback hits. After entering training camp as almost an afterthought, it’s hard to envision any scenario where Schofield isn’t an impact player for the Seahawks' defense.

Entering Friday, it was a question mark whether Farwell would even make the Seahawks' roster, given how well rookie Brock Coyle has been playing in the preseason. But the eight-year veteran definitely made his case against the Bears. After Coyle was injured on kickoff coverage, Farwell entered the game and had a serious impact with five combined tackles, including two solo tackles and one for a loss, as well as a stop at the 1-yard line late in the second quarter that kept Chicago out of the end zone.

The third preseason game is generally regarded as a team’s “dress rehearsal” for the regular season.

If that’s the case, the rest of the NFL is in trouble, because the Seattle Seahawks are scary good.

The Seahawks dominated in all phases of the game en route to a 34-6 victory over the Bears on Friday night at CenturyLink Field, scoring on all five of their first-half possessions and shutting out Chicago until 5:56 left in the fourth quarter.

After dropping their exhibition opener in Denver, the Seahawks have outscored their last two opponents 75-20 and looked every bit the part of defending champs. And while preseason scores don’t mean much, the sheer dominance of the Hawks’ performances has to have the 12th Man excited.
